Sort of, yeah. If you asked me to categorize foods as "bread-like" or not, I would definitely count cake. But I would probably not make a sandwich with cake.

Oh would you not? Then what is the jelly or frosting fillings between the layer? Isn't that A JELLY SANDWICH??

It's not every day that a comment makes me self-reflect and challenge my beliefs like this.
Thank you for opening my mind, Buglefingers. I've got a lot of thinking to do.
Iโve never make a cake from dough. Iโve always make cake from batter.
Maybe yeast is the thing?
In which case, cake isn't bread.
And also bread isn't bread, it's just a really thick beer.
But it doesn't have alcohol, so you'd need to add sugar.
Then beer is cake.
Yes. Flour, water, heat. That's it. Tortillas are bread. Cake is bread. Crackers are bread.
it's a doctrinal difference
also you could possibly look at something like gluten formation, but i suspect there's a gluteny cake out there as well as a glutenless bread
Rye bread looks like chocolate cake. So... is bread a sort of cake?
US bread taste like bread, it's soft and sugary.
I would turn it the other way breads are a sort of cake but more minimalist (water, flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt) and then there is some pimped bread which moves toward the cake, like when you add milk or even eggs
Not bread. Cake doesn't use yeast (leavened basically means using yeast). Bread does.
Cake uses eggs, bread doesn't.
Cake is expensive to buy or make. Bread isn't as bad.
I think we clearly know it's not bread. Back me up here someone. I'm the person being referred to in the OP btw.
